Police might shoot live round at campus in the future: “Every weapon deployed was to protect the citizens”

Over 3000 rounds of tear gas canisters, beanbag rounds and rubber bullets were fired during police operation in the city yesterday (Nov 12).

Today, police Senior Superintendent of Operations Wai-sun Wong said, “Every weapon deployed was to protect the citizens”. He also felt sorry that the police were attacked by arrows at the Chinese University. “We have still only been using gas (during the clashes)”. He indicated that police might shoot live round at the campus in the future.

Wong denied the suggestion that protestors and police are equal and emphasised the fact that the police had been attacked continuously and they had already given out warnings to protestors and tear gas was the minimum level of force. “The reason we deployed so many rounds”, he added, “was that we needed them to listen to us and disperse”.

Hong Kong Badminton Signs "5+1" After Winning a Match

Lee Cheuk Yiu, an athlete representing Hong Kong in the Yonex-Sunrise Hong Kong Open Badminton Tournament, has defeated his opponent from Thailand in the badminton singles category on November 13. After his victory, he raised all 5 fingers on his right hand, and his index finger on his left hand.

When he met with the press, he said he wanted to share the glory of his victory with all the Hongkongers. When asked what the meaning behind his gesture was, he replied “those who know it would understand.”

While the indefinite social struggle and conflicts have caused massive disruption to local traffic networks and disturbed his mood before the match, he stated that his determination does not only apply in his badminton matches, but also in the Hongkongers’ current fight for freedom. He believes that if people are willing to persevere, Hongkongers would win.
